GOB Retail Mar Newsletter
Greetings and Salutations!
Yes, its newsletter time again! I know you have been waiting with bated breath. But seriously, we do have a lot going on here at GOB this month. I'll dive right in.
RPG Mini Con Sunday, March 31st
We are holding one of our semi regular RPG Mini Cons at the end of this month. It is open to all RPGers, all game systems. We have 4 Game Masters signed up so far, but there is certainly room for a few more. If you have a game you would like to run and maybe recruit some new players, just e-mail us your name and game info and preferred time slot. We will be running two game time slots, each running approx 3 hours and 45 minutes. Time slots starting at noon and 4pm. RPG mini cons are free for all, some if you are a RPGer and looking to find some new games to play, make sure to come on out. Schedule of games will be announce shortly and we will begin accepting pre-registrations.
International Tabletop Day, Saturday, April 6th
The annual celebration of all thing tabletop gaming is near. This year we will be celebrating International Tabletop Day on Saturday, April 6th. So far, on deck we have the launch of our newest Warhammer 40K league, a Warmachine tournament, some Magic events and are planning a variety of board and card game events. We'll be celebrating this event with gusto, so stay tuned for further updates.
Warhammer 40K League
We had previously announced our next Warhammer 40K League would begin on Sat, March 30th, but due to overlap with a prominent wargaming convention, we are pushing the start of the league back to Saturday, April 6th. We'll be posting some revision to the league details as well. Everyone should see that update by early next week.
Private Gaming Room and Game Room Updates
Some of you may have noticed some of the construction ongoing in the game room. We're making a few changes and upgrades there. One will be the addition of a private gaming room. This room will support a large 4' x 8' gaming table with embedded gaming grid map, comfy padded chairs, a tv you can caste too and all set up with a medieval inn decor. The private gaming room will be available to reserve and rent. Additionally we will be adding updates to main open game room to include carpet tiles so as to mitigate the noise levels for when we have a lot of people gaming.
Magic: War of the Spark Is Coming
Magic the Gathering War of the Spark is the next Magic set coming down the pike. It will have pre-release events the weekend of April 27th and 28th. GOB will begin accepting box and sealed bundle pre-orders for War of the Spark next week with pre-release pre-registration starting the following week.
New Comic, Graphic Novel and Comic Bundles Enhanced Searches
So we've spent some effort to remake all the search features on our Comics and Graphic Novel pages and we've added a new page dedicated purely to Comic Bundles. The new searches let you search for comics by title, by series, by issue, by price, by writer, by artist so finding the comics and graphic novels you are looking for should be easier than ever. In the near future we'll also be introducing a comic Kiosk in the store that will contain these searches and in store access to comic subscriptions. (lot of artist and writer info is still working its way into our database, so that's going to be an ongoing thing).
